Key points from recent coverage
- BBC statements indicate that new information in the weeks prior to his dismissal prompted decisive action, and that the BBC had prior awareness of a police investigation in 2017 that was closed in 2019 due to lack of evidence. The BBC also apologized for not pursuing certain inquiries earlier.[2]
